| Description of the problem | While driving suddenly all light up on the dsh including brakes check vsc red triangle light abs trac light, followed by complete brake failure at red light had to run the light luckily no traffic and accident was avoided few seconds later all lights disappeared and brakes came back to normal, vent to a shop to see that the issue was there no problem found and was told everything works as it should no error codes found, days later same problem happened complete brake failure followed by resuming to normal and once again mechanics did not find any issues... Went online fount out it was a very common problem which im surprised toyota mechanics know nothing about, the issue seems to be with brake actuator which costs about $2000, finally after few months i was able to arrive at the shop with all the lights still lit up and they finally have confirmed that in dead the problem is the brake actuator, however part was replaced with dame part number and when i asked if the part was updated due to massive premature failure of these units i was told it was not, this needs to be addressed before people start dieing. |
